Cherokee Trails Rally, want to work it and be as close as possible? Read on...

Hey guys/gals and others (10th Warrior)..
I have an opportunity for whom ever, including my self, to work the Rally as a Stage Worker. I will have more details to come but wanted to see who was interested. It is March 15 (thur) to the 17th (sat). Please e-mail me as well as post here.

Being stage workers is fun if you actually get to do something other than block a road or trail on a stage. I've done this the past 2 years on the Sno*Drift SCCA ProRally and this year was definately BETTER than last. I was working time control instead of marshalling a stage.

If you go get there early so you can get the best assignments and watch the press stage.

As for driving the stage after it's been completed and the Sweep cars clear the stage; DON'T DO IT!!!

It'll look bad on the SCCA's part to the local authorities and may convince people that rallying is TOO DANGEROUS to have close to them.

Because it is an FIA observed rally, it might hurt the chances of Cherokee Trails becoming a real stop on the WRC season.

I know that people will say nothing bad will happen but ya never know...

More info:
We have a hotel room ($53 PER night) under my name for whom ever goes, we will leave St.Louis at 3am Wed. to be at the rally by 12 noon for work assignments. There is a small chance we WILL be able to drive the stages after the rally is run. As I learn more so will you.
I am in contact with Kim DeMotte, and organizer for this rally, and she is very much in need of help for this event, you wont regret it.

that was brought up at the SCCA meeting on monday, if you'd been there shawn

there are a few people in the stl region who are going to go down and work the rally. i was thinking about it, but i think it would be more enjoyable to just spectate, given this is my first event (yes, i am a ProRally virgin). besides, i may not make it for the first day.

you can try http://www.stlscca.org but i don't think theres anything there. i have the phone # of the guy behind it at home, so if i have time i'll post it.

I'll be there for sure. I'm shooting a documentary for film school so I'll be shooting some video. I don't know if I could work and shoot video though. If I could just work part of the time that would be cool. I definately want more info and we should all hook up and down some brews.
